Ishqmein jo Kuchh Na Hons Tha

Ishqmein Jo Kuchh Na Hona Tha- Lata Mangeshkar-Film Saqi 1952-Lyricist Rajendra Krishna-Music C.Ramchandra

Like films "Parchhain" and "Ghungroo", film Saqi was also remembered for C.Ramchandra's melodious music drenched in Lata Mangeshkar's divine and sweet voice. By this time, Lata had become an integral part of C.Ramchandra's music.Films like Ghungroo, Hangama and Saqi have long been forgotten. However among avid listners of old music these movies will always be remembered for their quality music. The C.Ramchandra-Lata combo had produced musical gems in this movie as well, which still after so many years, never fail to enthrall the listners.

The music of Saqi 1952, had flavour of Arabic music because the film's story takes place somewhere in Arabic land of medivial setting. The music was dominated by Lata's voice. All female songs went to her. She had three solos in the film...

1. Ishqmein Jo Kuchh Na Hona Tha.

2. Khushise Dur Hoon Majboor Hoon.

3. Dil Pehla Aur Pyar Dusra Teesri Jawani.

4. Paas Nahi Aaiye Hath Na Lagaiye (With Chorus)

In addition to this, she sang following duets

1. Aa gayi Hai Isqmein Bahar (With Rafi)

2.Kise Maloom Tha Ke Ek Din Mohabbat Bewafa Hogi (With Talat Mahamood)

Thus Lata's voice all encompassed the music of the film. This song and the song " Khushise dur Hoon" are sad whereas other songs are on happy note.

ग़म की वादी में ख़ुशी का करवां खोने लगा इश्क़ में जो कुछ न होना था, वही होने लगा ग़म की वादी में ख़ुशी का करवां खोने लगा कौन समझेगा मुहब्बत की भला मजबूरियाँ दो दिलों की चाहतें दुनिया की ना-मंज़ूरियाँ मुस्कुराने ही से पहले प्यार क्यों रोने लगा इश्क़ में जो कुछ न होना था, वही होने लगा सामने आँखों के मेरे इश्क़ का अंजाम है है अगर ये ज़िंदगी तो मौत किस का नाम है रन्ज-ओ-ग़म जागे, नसीबा प्यार का सोने लगा इश्क़ में जो कुछ न होना था, वही होने लगा
